More than 900,000 New Yorkers have signed up for the cards, which are considered official government ID and come with benefits including free access to city cultural institutions and a 15% discount on a Citi Bike membership. All city residents over 14-years-old are eligible.

In order to protect undocumented immigrants from possible deportation under President Trump, the city no longer keeps cardholders' personal information, like birth certificates and passports, used to verify their applications.

Such data for the hundreds of thousands of people already part of the program was set to be destroyed last December, under city law.

But a judge ordered the city not to get rid of the records after two Republican lawmakers sued to keep the documents intact.
